Deputies were dispatched to an address on Worth Avenue in Bryant Wednesday regarding an injured animal. Residents in the area rescued a small fawn that was tangled in a chain link fence. At the time of the rescue, the fawn was unresponsive.
Deputy Jack Campbell with the Saline County Sheriff's Office believed that the deer was in shock, so he wrapped the deer in a large blanket and placed it in the rear of a police vehicle.
The fawn was transported to Deputy Campbell's residence, where Campbell began nursing it back to health.
Once the deer could walk, Deputy Campbell transported it to a farm in Saline County. The fawn is now being taken care of at the far and is being fed goat milk from a baby's bottle.
Officials state that the fawn will not be strong enough to be released into the wild for several months.
